Does God of War PC use Vulkan Mod?

God of War is one of the best-selling PC games. The game is famous for its story, graphics, combat system, and much more.

This game story successfully engages the players emotionally too that’s why many of the player claim that they are playing this game again and again.

Meanwhile, we see some players suffering from Low FPS and shuttering problems. Is DMXV Vulkan the answer to that? let’s find out down below.

DMXV Vulkan is a Mod for the God of war game that uses DXVK .dll-based Vulkan translation support for God of War. Allows the game to be run using the Vulkan API, which can boost performance on certain hardware and reduce stuttering. Usually assists AMD GPUs more than NVidia.

How do I switch to Vulkan? How do I install Vulkan?

You can simply go to the Nexus mod and download the DMXV Vulkan for your game.

For manual installation:

• Copy and paste the 2 .dlls and a .conf file next to the root executable (GoW.exe).
• The .conf you choose will depend on which launch options you wish to enable. There are two lines you may alter in the .conf file.

dxgi.nvapiHack = False

This disables a hack that reports an NVIDIA GPU as an AMD one. This can help with issues regarding the NVAPI. You may wish to try this enabled/disabled as it can cause the game not to run if set incorrectly on a given hardware.

dxvk.enableAsync = true

This enables the async pipelines. This compiles async pipelines outside of the main thread, leading to less stuttering. The shader cache may be slightly larger, but the benefits of enabling it are worthwhile.

The above two changes are included as 4 separate files (with all combinations).

For a vortex installation, an installation wizard will prompt you to enable/disable both options, it will then copy the required .dlls and a .conf file depending on the selected options.
